The four guineas have been busy this spring.  They’ve laid a total of 23 eggs in the barn.  Unfortunately I couldn’t get the hen(s) to sit on them, in fact they laid them in random places all over the coop.  After about two weeks I took all of them and put them in an incubator, we’ll find out soon enough if they are fertile, they should hatch around the 20th of May.

In the incubator!

I put them all together in the barn but they refused to sit on them

Purchased a whole load of fish from a Zetts up in West Virginia, the containers took up the entire trailer and pickup truck.  The fish included:

• Large mouth bass
• Blue gill
• Yellow perch
• Channel catfish
• Fathead minnows
• Crayfish
• Shiners
• Giant tadpoles
• Koi
• Large snails
• Daphnia – water fleas

Maddy & Patrick helped me spread them around the pond.  Keeping fingers crossed that they will take.
